Busy day as I jumped randomly from one thing to another today. Here’s what I did for day 3 of Art Every Day Month.
After finishing up “real work” I did some doodling in the theme of skinny from Illustration Friday. A bunch of skinny necks as I like to doodle faces a lot. I realized that I have issues finishing up my drawings as I get caught up in certain details and then have no interest in the rest of it!
Then I did some more doodling as I usually do for my 4-year old niece to color in…
…and then I continued with my acrylic experimental piece. I realized too much water mixed with the acrylic paint would result in actual waterlogged stains, but I worked with it and continued with some detailing for my sailing/sinking ship. I’m thinking of adding more detail with ink after it dries nicely tonight.

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely keep at the acrylic piece…not sure how it will turn out!
relish seeing your progression on this vivid warm piece…AND your doodles…lucky niece!!
Thanks! I am currently really into these colors…warm, but sort of dark at the same time!
those skinny necks are so lovely, what totally fun doodles.
I absolutely love your doodles: what pen do you use?
Thank you! I use copic multi-liners! I have a set in all different widths and also brushes, so depending if I feel like making wide crazy lines (the second doodle) or something a bit more detailed I use .03 width. I actually just bought a dip pen, but haven’t learned how to use it!
Don’t you love this challenge? It’s helping me reframe my days and be more productive. Love your paint play!
Definitely! The challenge gives us all that little push!
We all have ‘issues’ finishing things off I think! I can’t doodle faces even if I try! Thanks for dropping by my blog

and thank YOU for dropping by! Hopefully I can share some more of my random doodlings! I love faces!
Your doodles are really fun. I like the look and feel of your sailing/sinking ship. Isn’t it fun to experiment?!?
Thanks! It’s definitely fun to experiment and amazing how you discover things by accident!
Wow – what a great illustration! How fun! You’re really good at that…
Wow, really appreciate your thoughts! I hope to share more drawings soon.
Your drawings are wonderful with lots of character!
Thank you! It’s fun to create little characters!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I can’t wait to see your acrylic piece after the ink addition:)
you’re very welcome and thanks for stopping by here as well!
This is great! I love the way that mistakes and failed experiments (like your water and acrylic) can actually turn into great ideas. Beautiful work!
Definitely…when you experiment, you discover new things! All part of the process of growing and learning I think.
